Eric, I´m glad I had the pleasure of being your Aunt. God couldn´t have given me a better nephew. I hide my tears when I hear your name, but the pain in my heart is still the same. Although I may smile and seem carefree. No one misses you more than me.
Remembering you is easy, I do it everyday. It´s just the pain and heartache, that never goes away. I will forever love you, and cherish our memories too. Eric J. Bennett auntie Pam truly misses you.
Love you always.

Eric, it was such a blessing to be blessed with you as a nephew. Words cannot express the pain and void I feel inside. A life so young, precious, admired, and loved. You are forever in my heart and the memories we shared will be forever treasured. I love you and miss you Eric. Love always and forever. Aunt Tracy
